Product Description
The Zigview-B Digital Angle Finder makes low and high level photography easy with its unique rotating LCD monitor. It simply attaches to the eyepiece of your SLR camera where the viewfinder image is captured by a CMOS sensor built into the Zigview and relayed in real time to a 2 inch TFT color display for easy viewing at any angle. The Zigview-B is particularly useful for low angle photography where you would struggle to see through the viewfinder especially with Macro work or high angle situations such as press work where it is impossible to see the subject when taking pictures over crowds. Zigview makes it easy to see the subject in both these situations without any difficulty. Rotate the LCD of the Zigview-B Digital Angle Finder a full 360 degrees so you can use it for low-level shots without bending over or lying on the ground, macro shooting at any angle, high-angle shots to see over crowds or use it as a waist level viewfinder to take more intimate portraits. The Zigview-B includes eyepiece adapters that fit most Nikon, Fuji and Canon cameras. 2 inch Color TFT LCD 1.3 Megapixel CMOS Sensor 360 degrees rotation Screen size adjustable to match the size of viewfinder screen of different cameras User settings save and restore functions

Huge disappointment.......2007-01-18

I was so excited when I ordered this product. When it arrived I was even more so,,,, but.... The first problem was that it took two months to get the Minolta adapter. I finally had to purchase it from a site in England because the American company couldn't fill the order. The adapter broke the second day I used it.

Second problem, the main one is, the product just doesn't work. I have to wait anywhere up to an hour for a picture to appear on the screen after I turn the unit on. If I put it in standby mode it can still take several minutes of recovery for the picture to reappear. This renders it next to usless.

This could be such a wonderful product and one that could be extremely helpful to the photography I do. I guess I will return it in hopes that a replacement unit will work better. If I had spent $39.99 I might not feel so bad, but this product cost me over $200.00. Just don't get it.
